The Neighbors this Friday (ABC, 8:30/7:30c) will make the acquaintance of Debbie’s mother, played by four-time Emmy winner Rhea Perlman — and TVLine has your first look at the awkward (and surprising) introduction.

Perlman’s character, Janet, is a former wild child and thus was a lousy, unapologetically hard-drinking, pot-smoking mom. As such, when Debbie (Jamie Gertz) brings her family — as well as Larry Bird and his candidly speaking clan — to San Diego to visit, she is bracing for the worst when Mom summons her new “special friend.”
